Dynaman Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Am I the only one that thought the last movie dialed it up to 11, not realizing that made it a parody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) It did dial it up to 11, though I didn't feel any parody. It all came across very serious. Fun to watch, but serious. Edited December 12, 2023 by Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Togo Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Just got to the theater for the 6:30 showing. Reviews have been pretty good, but I'm a bit worried about the amount of CG seen in the trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 It was good, but there was a lot of CG. Not enhancing shots or the natural landscape, but replacing them altogether. It's NOT Fury Road. This is a different movie. Major spoiler: Spoiler Yes, Max and the V8 Interceptor do appear in the film. Briefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangledThorns Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Saw it today. It was good, felt like a companion to the last movie. Hemsworth was great and should play more villains. Side notes though... I am never going to a Regal Cinema again. Had to sit through 30 minutes of mostly ads and some trailers after the movie was supposed to start. Unreal.

Yeah, used to be it was just previews, which were always nice to see. But with more people staying home to wait and stream movies in comfort, they have to bring in more revenue somewhere. Sadly, that's just more commercials... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our other local (Alamo, ICON, CMX, etc) theaters actually don't have ads played when the movie is supposed to start and I guess that's what it made seem so obscene too.

Too true! Play the movie when it's timed to, as sometimes that makes it start 10 to 20 min later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 The Inspirations Behind 45 Years of Mad Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) It's been a MAD MAX long weekend for me by watching all the movies on MAX, lol. Not in a particular order either. First was Fury Road followed by Road Warrior and Thunderdome and original Mad Max last. Though George Miller directed all the movies I think all the films are well made and except for Fury Road and Furiosa they are so different from each other in terms of wasteland wheeled adventure. That being said I think Mad Max could make for an excellent streaming series. Edited May 27 by TangledThorns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could work if they plotted out the entire run of the show in advance, showing the final downfall of civilization.

Still....goofy-a$$ pirates of the week seems to be doing well for the live-action One Piece...it's all about the actors and the writers...could be good....maybe if presented with Bezo's type money...George Miller would be willing to make a series....

Tking22 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I saw it Saturday night and enjoyed it enough, not as good as Fury Road, but it was still solid. Definitely a bit flustered at some of the CGI, definitely could've had more things done practical but oh well. I haven't been rewatching the movies but I did restart the Mad Max game from 2015, and what a hidden gem that game was. Absolutely gorgeous, incredible sound design, Arkham-style free flow combat, great car combat, beautiful fire and explosions, it's a great open-world game, and an excellent Mad Max game.

Same, restarted the game too. First re-play since 2015 and its still great. Didn't realize I put in over 80 hours in my first play through tho, lol. On a side note I'm reading Furiosa is a box office bust but I don't lay blame on the movie, instead I think its on the theaters and their ticket pricing. Want to fill seats? Lower their price if its not filling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower their price if its not filling! Adult tickets at my go-to theater at Cannery Casino are up to $18. frakk that, all of it, $18 plus a $15 popcorn? I went for Furiosa, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, I'll go for Deadpool 3, but yeah my days of going casually to the movies are over, prices are absurd, and now my damn theater plays up to fifteen minutes of ads. I get it, these theaters gotta make money where they can and how they can, but damn, they are making the experience worse, and more expensive, not a smart move.

no3Ljm Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 HISHE: "Animated Recap of Mad Max Fury Road by How It Should Have Ended. Before there was Furiosa there was Mad Max Fury Road. Well actually Furiosa takes place before Fury Road. But Mad Max was before Furiosa. Unless you think Tom Hardy is playing the feral kid from Road Warrior and just calls himself Max now. So then really Furiosa never met Mad Max and is therefore... wait, she's still after him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Well, poop. I'm hoping we do get more MAD MAX films. On a side note after re-watching all the movies last weekend I'd have to say The Road Warrior is the best sequel that was an improvement over the first film imho. Meaning if I'd score Mad Max a 5 or 6 and The Road Warrior is a 9. In comparison Star Wars: A New Hope or Batman Begins scores 8 and their sequels are a 10. I also still think a streaming series could work. My idea wouldn't be a 'street gang of the week' but showing how society collapses when the infrastructure (energy. water, law, etc) breaks down that eventually leads to wasteland road violence. ‘Furiosa’ Box Office Puts Brakes on George Miller’s Next ‘Mad Max’ Movie https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/mad-max-the-wasteland-furiosa-1235911133/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 There will eventually be another Mad Max movie, no need to worry about that. Hollywood (currently) can't stay away from a franchise for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have more Mad Max movies with Max actually in them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
